Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOf the scene in which Leonard Bernstein conducts the London Symphony Orchestra at the Ely Cathedral in 1976, Bradley Cooper said, "That scene I was so worried about because we did it live... I was recorded live. I had to conduct them. And I spent six years learning how to conduct six minutes and 21 seconds of music. I was able to get the raw take where I just watched Leonard Bernstein [conduct] at Ely Cathedral... And so I had that to study."
- GoofsThe day after Bernstein makes his wildly successful debut with the N.Y. Philharmonic in November of 1943, the story is carried on the front page of the N.Y. Times. One of his friends notes that the front page also includes a headline reading "Hitler Bombs Poland." Germany had bombed and conquered Poland in September, 1939, so the country had already been under German occupation for over four years at the time of Bernstein's debut concert.
- Quotes
Leonard Bernstein: Summer sang in me a little while, it sings in me no more. Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Felicia Montealegre: If the summer doesn't sing in you, then nothing sings in you. And if nothing sings in you, then you can't make music.

Featured review
The acting is superb and particularly Carey Mulligan who is astonishing, as usual, and Bradley Cooper's transformation is incredible. The look and feel throughout is very polished. But, and this isn't a minor quibble -- I found it really hard to understand the dialogue! Characters speak so quickly, in a mumble, that I actually considered putting on subtitles. Anyway, it wouldn't have made a difference, I thought the movie was so empty and plotless and uninteresting. There was really no tension in the wife's dealing with her husband's bisexuality, no real exploration or understanding of Bernstein's conflicts, and no delving into his achievements or their context, so there wasn't much left!
